Azure Data Factory Mapping Data Flows

Mapping Data Flows enable code-free data transformation at scale in the cloud, allowing users to focus on business logic without needing to understand complex programming languages. It supports resilient data transformation for big data scenarios, integrates with Azure Data Factory for orchestration, and includes features for handling schema drift. The platform also offers a rich set of transformations, expression functions, and debugging tools to enhance data processing workflows.

What are Mapping Data Flows?

• Transform at scale, in the cloud


• Code-free pipelines​ do NOT require
understanding of Spark / Scala /
Python / Java​
• Serverless scale-out
transformation execution engine​
• Resilient data transformation Flows​
built for big data scenarios
with unstructured data
requirements​
• Operationalized with Data
Factory scheduling, control flow and
monitoring​
Code-free Data Transformation At Scale
• Does not require understanding of Spark, big data execution engines,
clusters, Scala, Python, etc
• Focus on building business logic and data transformation
• Data cleansing
• Aggregation
• Data conversions
• Data prep
• Data exploration

Schema drift
• In most real-world data integration solutions, source and target
data stores will change shape​
• Source data fields will change name
• Number of columns will change over time​
• Traditional ETL processes break when schemas drift​
• Mapping Data Flow has built-in facilities for flexible schemas to
handle schema drift
• Patterns, rule-based mapping, byName function
• Source: Read additional columns on top of what is defined in the dataset source
• Sink: Write additional columns on top of what is defined in the dataset sink
Pattern matching
• Match by name, type, stream, ordinal position
Rule-based mapping
